The Infosys share price has dropped about 14.5% since Friday morning, leading to the abrupt erosion of wealth among investors, notably the founders, who together have a 12.74% stake. All the founder promoters have lost $100 million or more following CEO Vishal Sikka's resignation.

Gopalakrishnan's shares were worth $998 million as on Monday evening, down from $1,160 million (or $1.16 billion) on Thursday. Narayana Murthy and his family lost more than Rs 1,000 crore or $180 million in two days. Nandan Nilekani's net worth has slipped to below $750 million, from more than $800 million.

Infosys lost $5.3 billion or Rs 34,000 crore in market capitalisation in these two trading days. And to put in perspective the promoters' loss, they cumulatively lost Rs 4,321 crore in the two days, an amount that is almost equal to what Nilekani was worth on Monday evening.From almost Rs 30,000 crore, the founders' shares are worth Rs 25,594 crore as on Monday evening.

The share price has fallen from Rs 1,021 on Thursday to Rs 874 on Monday . The stock is now almost back to the level it was when Sikka took over. With the controversies surrounding the Panaya deal and the differences between Murthy and the board showing no signs of being resolved, even the share buyback price announcement has done little to keep shareholder spirits up. The Infosys board had on Saturday approved a Rs 13,000 crore buyback at Rs 1,150 a share.“Most brokerages have downgraded the stock and outlook continues to be negative,“ said CEO of an institution that holds Infosys shares. He added that the company faces a huge challenge in terms of recruiting a new CEO who is acceptable to everyone and who can rally around all the parties. Many analysts expect more attrition at the top, difficulties in finding a good replacement, tensions between the board and founders continuing, and confusion around the company's direction. All of this is expected to impact the company's performance and weigh on the stock, at least in the short term.
